You Can’t Always Get What You Want #537

I am going to live. As my old man said, “You get to where you think you’re gonna die, then you pray that you will…” And he was right, as far as that went.

But now I’ve decided I don’t want die just yet and that sentiment firms up more and more as the nasty old flu recedes in the rear-view mirror. So while I didn’t get what I really wanted for Christmas (health) I got it later, so it all worked out. The worst of the coughing is over and not a moment too soon since it cracked my neck every single cough.

Now I am just going in fits and spurts of being wiped out and then getting energy back off-on throughout the day.

See the energetic furry creature below? She got spayed today and the poor dear is pretty uncomfortable. Yes, even the Furry Little Black Dress of Evil can suffer.

We gave Lemurita an MP3 player for Christmas and she asked me to load it up with some of my music after she went to bed. I have a huge collection of digital music but not all of it is exactly acceptable for a 10 year old. Butthole Surfers, Circle Jerks, Henry Rollins, Metallica, the Doors… nah. I did give her AC/DC Hell’s Bells (she loves that one), some Rod Stewart, Don Henley, bagpipes, etc. Not sure about The Who, Shawn Mullins, Tom Petty, etc.

By the way – if you have not seen the movie Limitless, I would HIGHLY recommend it. I said to Cruel Wife, “Ok, I have to admit that if I was in his shoes I don’t think I could have done anything differently – it would be that seductive, especially to my brain.” It is NOT an anti-drug movie. It’s not a pro-drug movie. It’s a movie with a drug that the movie centers on but what a fun ride the movie is.

Well, things went south. Been coughing hard enough to go dizzy/faint, almost barf, and spring ribs. Nearly four weeks after getting sick they finally have me on steroids and now antibiotics. If only they had figured out that I was sick earlier, huh?

I don’t like doctors. If I go see one it means things ain’t well. I just want to get better and get back to remodeling.

Lovely, you are going to live through the Flu. I’m sure that CW is just overjoyed. She was probably waiting to collect insurance money and move to someplace sunny and warm.
Hey, lost your email and have a contribution for you…
And a new signature as well, something better than azmrmacs…

I’m back to my roots, man. I grew up out in Bumfuck, Oregon. It’s good you did that – it makes me feel younger to do so every now and then and I slip into the mind set. Then I stop and realize that this is how you think ALL THE TIME and it is occasion for some sadness on your behalf.

Get some popcorn wandering neurons. veeshir’s MO is to make a lame claim to a win that he doesn’t have. Freshman year in gradeschool you damn near drowned in that sort of stuff.

3. Most importantly: with the growing trend of shaving pubic areas, the Crab Louse population is dwindling. From the fine article: ““Pubic grooming has led to a severe depletion of crab louse populations,” reports Ian F. Burgess, a Cambridge medical entomologist.”

Like the good Tree-Hugger(tm) that I am, I recommend a campaign. Here’s a few slogans that I thought of:
“Stop deforestation, save the endangered Crab Louse”
“Stop beating around the bush, save the endangered Crab Louse”
